The listing, Old 1899 2c US Stamp with George Washington has ended.
Here's another old US stamp-- it's a 2c bright pinkish red with George Washington. I think it's a "type III," but have a look at the larger picture. It has a watermark. I believe Scott number 267a from 1899, but I am NOT an expert on US stamps. It is in used condition with a very unusual "fancy" cancel in the shape of a star. No faults or damage that I can tell.

This week it is ALL older better stamps from the USA.
Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away over the past couple of years, and I've been going through some of their old stuff-- they were both dedicated "savers" of everything. In some ways, I guess they were borderline "hoarders." My stepdad collected stamps, and this is from his collection-- although it's more like a giant pile of messy album pages and envelopes.
I think people should have fun bidding on stuff-- that's what auctions are all about! So the starting bids for my stuff will always be is FIVE credits, and we go from there, no matter HOW valuable something might be.
Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
